The European Union banking regulator has warned of the potential risk of using virtual currency Bitcoin, which consists of program code and is not regulated by any country.
The European Banking Authority is concerned that the currency does not offer protection to its consumers or mechanism for compensation. The regulator emphasized that digital currencies are facing sharp fluctuations in exchange rates, and that the Bitcoin market price has varied between less than $300 to over $1000 per unit.

Focus on Funds: Divergent Views Appearing Between American and European Regulators

Focus on Funds: Divergent Views Appearing Between American and European Regulators

Focus on Funds: Divergent Views Appearing Between American and European Regulators

(Transcript is below)
After intense activity following the financial crisis, regulators are pausing to take stock. But differing regulatory priorities in the United States, United Kingdom, and European Union could cause agendas to clash. In the May 11, 2018, edition of Focus on Funds, Alan Wheatley, Chatham House associate fellow of global economy and finance, explains.
For more information, visit https://www.iciglobal.org
______________________________________________
Stephanie Ortbals-Tibbs, ICI director of media relations:
What do some of the world’s leading fund regulators think about these days when it comes to risks in the capital markets? At the recent Chatham House spring capital markets conference, a number of them gathered to discuss what’s on their minds. And afterwards, the moderator offered some key takeaways.
Alan Wheatley, Chatham House associate fellow of global economy and finance:
I think my main takeaway is that we have had a decade of intense rulemaking since the global financial crisis, an intense period of cooperation among international regulatory agencies and national authorities. And people are pretty happy with where things stand. And now is the time to pause, take stock, and see what, if anything, we need to do further.
If I had to sum it up in three words, I would say that we’re content, but without being complacent.
Ortbals-Tibbs:
Indeed. And yet there were some issues they were looking at pretty closely right now. Could you tick through some of those for me?
Wheatley:
Well, the two that stick out in my mind, for instance—as Paul [Andrews] from [the International Organization of Securities Commissions] was saying—they’re issuing consultation papers or are working on leverage and liquidity. But what I took away from his remarks were that they’re unlikely to come up with anything that the fund industry’s not already doing.
This is not something that is likely to come as a complete shock to the industry. They want to be codifying best practice, and I got the impression from what he was saying is that most fund operators—as we would hope and expect—are already following these codes of conducts that they had in mind.
Ortbals-Tibbs:
The last thing that I found interesting—there was much in it—[was] what Mark Yallop said, where he set things up in a way that people outside of Europe might then be able to see the regulatory landscape more clearly than they had. Because there’s confusion—in the US, I think, for example—where we say, well, we’ve kind of sorted this out. And we have all this regulation, and as you say, we’re kind of taking a pause here. But he was explaining that to think that the European pendulum started a bit later, and so that’s why we would see that swinging still.
Wheatley:
It was very interesting, wasn’t it? He said that the Americans got an early start on reregulation, or tightening regulation, after the global financial crisis. The pendulum swung and is now perhaps beginning to swing back a little bit. Europe, being a more complicated place, started late, and the pendulum is still swinging towards perhaps more extensive, intrusive regulations.
So, to use Mark’s phrase, which I thought was very vivid—the tectonic plates are starting to clash, and that is certainly something that I will be watching in the years to come.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U. S.Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) said on Thursday it would grant Wall Street a 30 month-grace period that will allow them to comply with sweeping new European Union investment research rules without overhauling their operations.The reprieve comes ahead of Europe’s MiFID II trading rules, which will overhaul how investment managers pay for research provided by banks beginning in January.Under MiFID II, brokers will have to charge separately for research, instead of bundling the fees together with other services, such as trading.The new rules aim to eliminate conflicts of interest by giving investors greater transparency over how much they pay banks for discrete services.EU regulators say this should incentivize brokers to produce better quality research and allow investors to execute trades with banks that offer the best price.Some global investment banks risk losing up to $240 million (£188 million) in business by 2020 under the new rules, according to financial consultancy Quinlan & Associates.Many global U. S. brokers servicing European clients will need to comply with the EU rules, but are technically barred from doing so due to a quirk of U.S. federal securities law. This sparked concerns that U. S. brokers would have to overhaul their operations to continue serving European clients, or EU investors would lose access to valuable U.S. research. On Thursday, the SEC issued three so-called ‘no action relief’ letters that will allow U.S. market participants to comply with the rules in a way that is consistent with U.S. law, the regulator said. The letters were drawn up following discussion with the European Union and will allow the SEC more time to assess how, if at all, it can reconcile its rules with MiFID.“Today’s no-action relief was designed. to reduce confusion and operational difficulties that might arise in the transition to MiFID II’s research provisions,” SEC Chairman Jay Clayton said in a statement.“These steps should preserve investor access to research in the near term, during which the Commission can assess the need for any further action.”Because U. S. and EU firms are the biggest participants in each others’ markets, MiFID has caused a slew of cross-border compliance issues for U.S. firms and trading platforms across a range of asset classes. Earlier this month, the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission said it had reached a preliminary deal with the European Union to recognize each others’ derivatives rules under MiFID II.

AFF 2015: European Regulator Aims for Lower Risk

The exuberant European markets of the moment run risks of over-evaluation, and the incoming regulatory framework will allow the European Securities and Markets Authority to monitor their performances, says that body’s Chair, Steven Maijoor.

After intense activity following the financial crisis, regulators are pausing to take stock. But differing regulatory priorities in the United States, United Kingdom, and European Union could cause agendas to clash. In the May 11, 2018, edition of Focus on Funds, Alan Wheatley, Chatham House associate fellow of global economy and finance, explains.

______________________________________________
Stephanie Ortbals-Tibbs, ICI director of media relations:
What do some of the world’s leading fund regulators think about these days when it comes to risks in the capital markets? At the recent Chatham House spring capital markets conference, a number of them gathered to discuss what’s on their minds. And afterwards, the moderator offered some key takeaways.
Alan Wheatley, Chatham House associate fellow of global economy and finance:
I think my main takeaway is that we have had a decade of intense rulemaking since the global financial crisis, an intense period of cooperation among international regulatory agencies and national authorities. And people are pretty happy with where things stand. And now is the time to pause, take stock, and see what, if anything, we need to do further.
If I had to sum it up in three words, I would say that we’re content, but without being complacent.
Ortbals-Tibbs:
Indeed. And yet there were some issues they were looking at pretty closely right now. Could you tick through some of those for me?
Wheatley:
Well, the two that stick out in my mind, for instance—as Paul [Andrews] from [the International Organization of Securities Commissions] was saying—they’re issuing consultation papers or are working on leverage and liquidity. But what I took away from his remarks were that they’re unlikely to come up with anything that the fund industry’s not already doing.
This is not something that is likely to come as a complete shock to the industry. They want to be codifying best practice, and I got the impression from what he was saying is that most fund operators—as we would hope and expect—are already following these codes of conducts that they had in mind.
Ortbals-Tibbs:
The last thing that I found interesting—there was much in it—[was] what Mark Yallop said, where he set things up in a way that people outside of Europe might then be able to see the regulatory landscape more clearly than they had. Because there’s confusion—in the US, I think, for example—where we say, well, we’ve kind of sorted this out. And we have all this regulation, and as you say, we’re kind of taking a pause here. But he was explaining that to think that the European pendulum started a bit later, and so that’s why we would see that swinging still.
Wheatley:
It was very interesting, wasn’t it? He said that the Americans got an early start on reregulation, or tightening regulation, after the global financial crisis. The pendulum swung and is now perhaps beginning to swing back a little bit. Europe, being a more complicated place, started late, and the pendulum is still swinging towards perhaps more extensive, intrusive regulations.
So, to use Mark’s phrase, which I thought was very vivid—the tectonic plates are starting to clash, and that is certainly something that I will be watching in the years to come.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U. S.Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) said on Thursday it would grant Wall Street a 30 month-grace period that will allow them to comply with sweeping new European Union investment research rules without overhauling their operations.The reprieve comes ahead of Europe’s MiFID II trading rules, which will overhaul how investment managers pay for research provided by banks beginning in January.Under MiFID II, brokers will have to charge separately for research, instead of bundling the fees together with other services, such as trading.The new rules aim to eliminate conflicts of interest by giving investors greater transparency over how much they pay banks for discrete services.EU regulators say this should incentivize brokers to produce better quality research and allow investors to execute trades with banks that offer the best price.Some global investment banks risk losing up to $240 million (£188 million) in business by 2020 under the new rules, according to financial consultancy Quinlan & Associates.Many global U. S. brokers servicing European clients will need to comply with the EU rules, but are technically barred from doing so due to a quirk of U.S. federal securities law. This sparked concerns that U. S. brokers would have to overhaul their operations to continue serving European clients, or EU investors would lose access to valuable U.S. research. On Thursday, the SEC issued three so-called ‘no action relief’ letters that will allow U.S. market participants to comply with the rules in a way that is consistent with U.S. law, the regulator said. The letters were drawn up following discussion with the European Union and will allow the SEC more time to assess how, if at all, it can reconcile its rules with MiFID.“Today’s no-action relief was designed. to reduce confusion and operational difficulties that might arise in the transition to MiFID II’s research provisions,” SEC Chairman Jay Clayton said in a statement.“These steps should preserve investor access to research in the near term, during which the Commission can assess the need for any further action.”Because U. S. and EU firms are the biggest participants in each others’ markets, MiFID has caused a slew of cross-border compliance issues for U.S. firms and trading platforms across a range of asset classes. Earlier this month, the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission said it had reached a preliminary deal with the European Union to recognize each others’ derivatives rules under MiFID II.

Spiral LED filament lamp teardown. (With schematic.)

An interesting new direction for the LED filament lamps. At first I thought these were just using a longer version of the metal filament base, but it's a completely new style of LED filament.
Note that most of these seem to be aimed at the higher voltage European mains supply of 220V to 240V, although the design of the filament means they can easily manufacture a version with the LEDs in a different series/parallel configuration for lower voltages.
Here's a search link for the 220-240V version. (Not suitable for America or Canada yet without a voltage doubler or dodgy 220V lighting socket.)

Sorting CFDs - negative Balance Protection?

It seems as though EuropeanRegulators are on a crusade to fix the CFD market. BaFin's (the German regulator) approach is to protect customers via compulsory negative balance protection.
In this webinar we explain why this amounts to kicking agency only intermediaries (pure brokers) outside Germany: NBP is a market risk that brokers can't enter into.
More about NegativeBalanceProtection here: https://blog.darwinex.com/negative-balance-protection/
We also explain how we think regulators could really protect CFD investors: by forcing CFDs on Exchange.

The EU Conflict Regulation: What We Know So Far

The European Union (EU) Parliament, Council and Commission have agreed upon a framework for an EU conflict mineral regulation.
Until now, the primary roadblock has been a disagreement on mandatory due diligence for downstream companies, as well as exemptions for small businesses. This has now been worked through within the framework, but exact details of what the regulation may look like have yet to be released.
Assent Compliance held a webinar hosted by James Calder, Director of Compliance Programs. James discusses what we know so far from the framework and provide's insights into what this means moving forward.

Invited Session at ECSSVienna 2016 "HIT training - Mechanisms and applicability"
HitTraining as a Cure for Type 2 Diabetes
Dela, F.
University of CopenhagenType 2 diabetes is characterized by a combination of insulin resistance, insufficient insulin secretory capacity and genetic disposition
combined with excess energy intake and physical. Physical training alleviates insulin resistance, may improve insulin secretory
capacity and improves glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes. Large clinical studies lifestyle interventions including weight
loss and increased physical activity have shown fewer hospitalizations, fewer medications, and lower health-care costs, but on
specific cardiovascular endpoints the results have been disappointing in large scale studies.
Thus, while there is no question about the effectiveness of physical training as medicine for insulin resistance, the major problem is
that the patients do not take the medicine. There are many barriers to overcome and motivation, safe environments, convenience and
lack of time are considered to be among the major reasons for not exercising on a regular basis. High intensity interval training (HIIT)
with short periods of intense exercise interspersed with brief periods of rest is a time efficient exercise modality which might surpass
some of the barriers.
As with almost any kind of exercise, an acute high intensity training bout will lower glucose concentrations in patients with type 2
diabetes. However, the longer term (training for 2 weeks or more) studies that have been conducted in patients with type 2 diabetes
have generally used insufficient methods for determining the effect of HIIT on insulin secretion and sensitivity, which are the key
parameters in the pathophysiology of type 2 diabetes. Hence, by using measurements of interstitial glucose concentrations, HOMA or
HbA1c, either marginal or no effect and significant effects of HIIT on glucose homeostasis have been reported.
None of the previous studies have used the gold standard for assessment of insulin sensitivity, the glucose clamp technique and
none have studied specifically skeletal muscle, which the tissue that takes up the vast majority of glucose during insulin stimulation.
Previous studies have addressed the molecular effects of high intensity interval training in skeletal muscle but only one study in
patients with type 2 diabetes. In general these studies shows that HIIT leads to increases in proteins (activity and/or content) related
to mitochondrial biogenesis, such as citrate synthase (CS), complexes in the mitochondrial respiratory chain, silent mating-type
information regulator 2 homolog 1 (SIRT1), peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor 947; coactivator-1α (PGC-1α),
mitofusin (Mfn)-2. Also skeletal muscle GLUT4 protein and glycogen content seem to increase with HIIT, and furthermore, an
increased capacity to fat oxidation (less exercise induced decrease in glycogen and increased hydroxyl-acyl-dehydrogenase (HAD)
activity) takes place after HIIT.

parameters in the pathophysiology of type 2 diabetes. Hence, by using measurements of interstitial glucose concentrations, HOMA or
HbA1c, either marginal or no effect and significant effects of HIIT on glucose homeostasis have been reported.
None of the previous studies have used the gold standard for assessment of insulin sensitivity, the glucose clamp technique and
none have studied specifically skeletal muscle, which the tissue that takes up the vast majority of glucose during insulin stimulation.
Previous studies have addressed the molecular effects of high intensity interval training in skeletal muscle but only one study in
patients with type 2 diabetes. In general these studies shows that HIIT leads to increases in proteins (activity and/or content) related
to mitochondrial biogenesis, such as citrate synthase (CS), complexes in the mitochondrial respiratory chain, silent mating-type
information regulator 2 homolog 1 (SIRT1), peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor 947; coactivator-1α (PGC-1α),
mitofusin (Mfn)-2. Also skeletal muscle GLUT4 protein and glycogen content seem to increase with HIIT, and furthermore, an
increased capacity to fat oxidation (less exercise induced decrease in glycogen and increased hydroxyl-acyl-dehydrogenase (HAD)
activity) takes place after HIIT.

It seems as though EuropeanRegulators are on a crusade to fix the CFD market. BaFin's (the German regulator) approach is to protect customers via compulsory negative balance protection.
In this webinar we explain why this amounts to kicking agency only intermediaries (pure brokers) outside Germany: NBP is a market risk that brokers can't enter into.
More about NegativeBalanceProtection here: https://blog.darwinex.com/negative-balance-protection/
We also explain how we think regulators could really protect CFD investors: by forcing CFDs on Exchange.

At the end of March, the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) published its final report containing the draft regulatory and implementing technical standards (RTS/ITS) under the new Benchmarks Regulation (BMR) aimed at ensuring the accuracy and integrity of benchmarks across the European Union. ESMA has now submitted the RTS to the European Commission, which has three months in which to approve or reject them. The Regulation, fully coming into force on 1 January 2018, includes provisions ensuring:
- the full process of provision of a benchmark is checked by a new oversight function that administrators have to establish
- the potential manipulation of benchmarks is minimised, through new rules regarding the methodology of calculation and the contribution of input data
- that conflicts of interest of administrators and contributors are properly managed
- a level playing field across different Member States for the authorisation and registration of benchmark's administrators

The European Union (EU) Parliament, Council and Commission have agreed upon a framework for an EU conflict mineral regulation.
Until now, the primary roadblock has been a disagreement on mandatory due diligence for downstream companies, as well as exemptions for small businesses. This has now been worked through within the framework, but exact details of what the regulation may look like have yet to be released.
Assent Compliance held a webinar hosted by James Calder, Director of Compliance Programs. James discusses what we know so far from the framework and provide's insights into what this means moving forward.
The new EU conflict mineral regulation will be designed in accordance with the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Due DiligenceGuidelines. This is good news for companies already well-versed in the OECD guidance, but the regulation’s scope will still provide unique compliance challenges.

AFF 2015: European Regulator Aims for Lower Risk

The exuberant European markets of the moment run risks of over-evaluation, and the incoming regulatory framework will allow the European Securities and Markets Authority to monitor their performances, says that body’s Chair, Steven Maijoor. Speaking beside the Asian Financial Forum2015, he says the Hong Kong securities market is very important for asset management, and among those in the vanguard of developing links with Europe. Europe’s regulatory reforms are adding a “sustainability” factor that has not existed over the past year.

Focus on Funds: Divergent Views Appearing Between American and European Regulators

(Transcript is below)
After intense activity following the financial crisis, regulators are pausing to take stock. But differing regulatory priorities in the United States, United Kingdom, and European Union could cause agendas to clash. In the May 11, 2018, edition of Focus on Funds, Alan Wheatley, Chatham House associate fellow of global economy and finance, explains.
For more information, visit https://www.iciglobal.org
______________________________________________
Stephanie Ortbals-Tibbs, ICI director of media relations:
What do some of the world’s leading fund regulators think about these days when it comes to risks in the capital markets? At the recent Chatham House spring capital markets conference, a number of them gathered to discuss what’s on their minds. And afterwards, the moderator offered some key takeaways.
Alan Wheatley, Chatham House associate fellow of global economy and finance:
I think my main takeaway is that we have had a decade of intense rulemaking since the global financial crisis, an intense period of cooperation among international regulatory agencies and national authorities. And people are pretty happy with where things stand. And now is the time to pause, take stock, and see what, if anything, we need to do further.
If I had to sum it up in three words, I would say that we’re content, but without being complacent.
Ortbals-Tibbs:
Indeed. And yet there were some issues they were looking at pretty closely right now. Could you tick through some of those for me?
Wheatley:
Well, the two that stick out in my mind, for instance—as Paul [Andrews] from [the International Organization of Securities Commissions] was saying—they’re issuing consultation papers or are working on leverage and liquidity. But what I took away from his remarks were that they’re unlikely to come up with anything that the fund industry’s not already doing.
This is not something that is likely to come as a complete shock to the industry. They want to be codifying best practice, and I got the impression from what he was saying is that most fund operators—as we would hope and expect—are already following these codes of conducts that they had in mind.
Ortbals-Tibbs:
The last thing that I found interesting—there was much in it—[was] what Mark Yallop said, where he set things up in a way that people outside of Europe might then be able to see the regulatory landscape more clearly than they had. Because there’s confusion—in the US, I think, for example—where we say, well, we’ve kind of sorted this out. And we have all this regulation, and as you say, we’re kind of taking a pause here. But he was explaining that to think that the European pendulum started a bit later, and so that’s why we would see that swinging still.
Wheatley:
It was very interesting, wasn’t it? He said that the Americans got an early start on reregulation, or tightening regulation, after the global financial crisis. The pendulum swung and is now perhaps beginning to swing back a little bit. Europe, being a more complicated place, started late, and the pendulum is still swinging towards perhaps more extensive, intrusive regulations.
So, to use Mark’s phrase, which I thought was very vivid—the tectonic plates are starting to clash, and that is certainly something that I will be watching in the years to come.

Spiral LED filament lamp teardown. (With schematic.)

An interesting new direction for the LED filament lamps. At first I thought these were just using a longer version of the metal filament base, but it's a completely new style of LED filament.
Note that most of these seem to be aimed at the higher voltage European mains supply of 220V to 240V, although the design of the filament means they can easily manufacture a version with the LEDs in a different series/parallel configuration for lower voltages.
Here's a search link for the 220-240V version. (Not suitable for America or Canada yet without a voltage doubler or dodgy 220V lighting socket.)

Hit Training as a Cure for Type 2 Diabetes - Prof. Dela

Invited Session at ECSSVienna 2016 "HIT training - Mechanisms and applicability"
HitTraining as a Cure for Type 2 Diabetes
Dela, F.
University of CopenhagenType 2 diabetes is characterized by a combination of insulin resistance, insufficient insulin secretory capacity and genetic disposition
combined with excess energy intake and physical. Physical training alleviates insulin resistance, may improve insulin secretory
capacity and improves glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes. Large clinical studies lifestyle interventions including weight
loss and increased physical activity have shown fewer hospitalizations, fewer medications, and lower health-care costs, but on
specific cardiovascular endpoints the results have been disappointing in large scale studies.
Thus, while there is no question about the effectiveness of physical training as medicine for insulin resistance, the major problem is
that the patients do not take the medicine. There are many barriers to overcome and motivation, safe environments, convenience and
lack of time are considered to be among the major reasons for not exercising on a regular basis. High intensity interval training (HIIT)
with short periods of intense exercise interspersed with brief periods of rest is a time efficient exercise modality which might surpass
some of the barriers.
As with almost any kind of exercise, an acute high intensity training bout will lower glucose concentrations in patients with type 2
diabetes. However, the longer term (training for 2 weeks or more) studies that have been conducted in patients with type 2 diabetes
have generally used insufficient methods for determining the effect of HIIT on insulin secretion and sensitivity, which are the key
parameters in the pathophysiology of type 2 diabetes. Hence, by using measurements of interstitial glucose concentrations, HOMA or
HbA1c, either marginal or no effect and significant effects of HIIT on glucose homeostasis have been reported.
None of the previous studies have used the gold standard for assessment of insulin sensitivity, the glucose clamp technique and
none have studied specifically skeletal muscle, which the tissue that takes up the vast majority of glucose during insulin stimulation.
Previous studies have addressed the molecular effects of high intensity interval training in skeletal muscle but only one study in
patients with type 2 diabetes. In general these studies shows that HIIT leads to increases in proteins (activity and/or content) related
to mitochondrial biogenesis, such as citrate synthase (CS), complexes in the mitochondrial respiratory chain, silent mating-type
information regulator 2 homolog 1 (SIRT1), peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor 947; coactivator-1α (PGC-1α),
mitofusin (Mfn)-2. Also skeletal muscle GLUT4 protein and glycogen content seem to increase with HIIT, and furthermore, an
increased capacity to fat oxidation (less exercise induced decrease in glycogen and increased hydroxyl-acyl-dehydrogenase (HAD)
activity) takes place after HIIT.

Sorting CFDs - negative Balance Protection?

It seems as though EuropeanRegulators are on a crusade to fix the CFD market. BaFin's (the German regulator) approach is to protect customers via compulsory negative balance protection.
In this webinar we explain why this amounts to kicking agency only intermediaries (pure brokers) outside Germany: NBP is a market risk that brokers can't enter into.
More about NegativeBalanceProtection here: https://blog.darwinex.com/negative-balance-protection/
We also explain how we think regulators could really protect CFD investors: by forcing CFDs on Exchange.
